Ward on second base both havirg reached those
bases on hits. Conner was at the bat with only

to think that there are people who read

GREATEST ART PUBLISHERS
A Word About Raphael Tuck &

If dozen ordinary men were asked
to name the greatest painter now living,
the chances are that they would give
dozen different answers. Anybody,
though, particularly any artist, will tell
you that the house of Raphael Tuck IL
Sons are the greatest art publishers in
the world. There can lie no doubt of
that. Their publications are before you,
no matter where you find an art dealer
establishment. Their largest house is in
London. but they lave others almost
equally as extensive in Berlin, Paris,
Leipzig and New York. Their head
quarters in this city. by the way, is in
charge of Samuel Gabriel, at No. 29S
Broadway, where the firms latest pro-
auctions can he viewed. The collection
there displayed of reproductions of the
NEST noted works of all the modern
masters is worth going far to see. So
extensive have MessrS. Raphael Tuck IL
Sons operations in America become
That AdOlph Tuck will visit the New
York agency about the middle of next
month and make arrangements for still
further extensions.
The factories of MeSSrS. Raphael Tuck
& Sons at Leipzig employ an army of
more than 800 experienced designers,
photographers and transformers. Besides
this they have their own paper and card
board mills. where are prepared the ma
terialS for their art printing. Altogether

mantel and cabinet decorations, Christ
mas and New Year cards. and a thou
sand and one artistic notions designed

learned to appreciate the beautiful.
Messers. Raphael Tuck II Sons may
truly claim to have done more to render
art popular than any other publishers
in the world. They have reproduced
and sold at popular prices all the paint
ingS in the WOrld-famOuS Berlin gallery.
and the works of some of the eminent
foreign and American artists. In
Christmas and New Year cards alone
Messrs. Tuck IL Sons annually print
more than 1000 designs. Among their
latest novelties is an exquisite line of
porcelain studies of superior quality
and thickness and beveled, and each
enclosed in wooded safety box, guard

mission through the mail. All the de-
signs are by Well-knOwn artists, and the
best that has been thus far brought out
is the portrait of Mrs. President Cleve-
